Let's pretend you need to stock a new garage/shop with chemicals, starting with none.
Wd 40
Pb blaster
Qr electronics cleaner
Brake clean
Carb and choke
Starting fluid
Anti seize.
That's my list. Anything I'm missing?
I've decided since I work in both my garages, instead of running back and forth all the time, I should just stock them both, and rather than scrounge around for partial containers I just want to get all new for one of them.
Maybe brake grease (I like the CRC Ceramic stuff) to go with the brake cleaner?
You have no lubricants on the list. Fluid Film. Purple silicone brake grease.
Wd40 isn't a lubricant.
RTV
Gasket maker (Grey Stuff?)
Simple Green
Windex
Sil-Glyde
Acetone, mineral spirits, denatured alcohol.
Acetone
Zylol
Lacquer thinner
Purple cleaner or kero type cleaner
Dawn
hand cleaner....
Beer.
Actually, I almost never drink, I just wanted to be the first to say it.
Gasoline?
Ahhh thread cutting fluid.
Streetwise, is White lithium in a can an ok lubricant?
Deep creep. It's the last step before the torch comes out.
A can of general purpose grease, and also a can of wheel bearing grease.
Waxes, rubbing compounds, polishes, and cleaners of your choice.
Loctites red and blue.
Dielectric grease
Dihydrogen monoxide
Evaporust
CRC Freeze-Off is the E36 M3 & I use it on/for everything. It also smells really good.
A couple of years back, we had a big discussion about anti seize. I love the stuff I got from McMaster
As a rust belt dweller, I still stand behind what I wrote in that old thread...
The McMaster stuff is an actual joy to work with and as such I am very likely to use it.
That silver stuff is misery to work with so I would often avoid using it, even if I needed it.
Kroil instead of wd40 and pbblaster.
By garage chemicals, do you mean chemicals beside the obvious fluids that your car uses (Engine Oil, PS Fluid, R134a, etc)?
Degreaser.
Fuel stabilizer?
Cat litter/sawdust for spills.
Eye wash station with the small bottles of saline.
Motor oil in all the weights that you use.
ATF - ditto
Gear oil- ditto
Coolant compatible with your hoopties
WD40 for electronics
Dielectric grease
Heat transfer grease
PB or Kroil
Simple Green, degreaser, other cleaners of your choice.
Wheel bearing Grease
Wasp/bug spray
Brake clean
Throttle body/carb clean
alcohol, mineral spirits, paint thinner

I've watched that GRM live like 6 times now, but I still haven't found a can to try out in real life. It really works as advertised?

I've just started using it on the BRZ - so far there isn't much that PB Blaster wouldn't have taken care of, so I can't tell if it's that much better, but it does seem to do the job well.
Let me look in my garage....
ok, looks like you also need a hundred cans of partially used different spray paint

I really do like it best out of all the penetrating lubes I've tried(which I think is all of them), plus I really do like the smell of it.
List so far from ProjectFarm on youtube:
Use the organic Walnut shell based hand cleaner- Gojo is crap, better for wood cleaning than hands.
Other needed things include:
How many more do we want?
